Need help choosing white/light quartz countertop

9 years ago

I need help in choosing the right white quartz countertop for our white kitchen. The cabinets are white, it is an open kitchen and living area with hardwood floors. The island top will be wood. I was about to order Silestone Stellar Snow but have read some disheartening information about the Microban agent it contains and am not sure if I want to chose this for my home. What I love about the silestone is the clean look and bits of sparkle. Can someone please put in their two cents as I need to make a decision by tomorrow.

i have had silestone in my kitchen in the creama color for many years and i love it., no stains, no problems. Im putting the stellar snow in a new timberframe ski house with white tile backsplash, maple cabinets and a slate floor. I love the flecks of grey and sparkle! lve never heard anything negative about silestone. Good luck with your project.

I'm not sure about Microban, but when I was looking the non porousness of quartz was the main thing they pushed with regard to sanitation. Don't rush into a decision, it's your money and kitchen. Make sure you're confident of the materials being used.
